World heritage
Wednesday, December 17, 2008
The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation (UNESCO) maintains a list of world heritage sites that are considered to be of outstanding value to humanity. As of today, there are 878 world heritage sites throughout the globe. The number of sites which I have currently been to stand at a miserable 15. These are the world heritage sites which I have visited before:
Europe
1. Tower of London, UK
2. Maritime Greenwich, UK
3. Westminister Palace, Westminister Abbey and St Margaret’s Church, UK
4. Kew Gardens, UK
5. Paris, Banks of the Seine, France
6. Vatican City
7. Historic Centre of Rome, Italy
8. Venice and its Lagoon, Italy
9. Works of Antoni Gaudi, Spain

11. Temple of Heaven, China
12. Historic centre of Macau, China
13. Malacca Town and George Town, Malaysia
